What is pink goo?

"Pink goo" typically refers to a controversial meat product known as lean finely textured beef (LFTB), which is made from beef trimmings treated with ammonia to kill bacteria. It gained notoriety in 2012 when an investigation exposed its use in ground beef, raising concerns about food safety and quality. The term became widely associated with the visual appearance and texture of the product, leading to public backlash and changes in labeling practices. While it is still used in some products, many consumers remain wary of its presence in their food.
